- the above factors ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , T 1 , T 2 , a reference table for obtaining a factor An) may be downloaded from a higher node of a base station, or may be directly read in terminals I/F (external interface function) which are provided to the MAC-hs layer process unit 2032 and the data transmission amount control information calculation unit 2034.
- respective functional blocks of the wired physical layer processor 203 may be divided with hardware in some case, or may be divided as software using programs in a processor in another case.
- a high speed packet transmission scheme HSDPA in 3GPP is described, the present invention is not limited to the HSDPA, and is applicable to another high speed packet transmission scheme which performs a control of an amount of data flow (flow control) of downlink packets in a mobile communication system.
- cdma2000 1xEV-DO in 3GPP2 a TDD scheme in 3GPP
- a high speed packet transmission scheme in Long Term Evolution (Super 3G) is cited as another high speed packet transmission scheme.
